Is it really possible to have 5 favorite flea market finds? The answer is no but I am sharing some of favorites today and I will continually add to my list.

It’s no secret that I am a flea market junkie and I couldn’t possibly narrow my list down to just 5 favorite treasures so I am thinking this topic will be headed towards a “to be continued” post.

Favorite Flea Market Finds #1 – Milk Glass

I am so late to the milk glass scene but I am having a great time playing catch up as I hunt around for some interesting and unique milk glass pieces. Hop over and see how I display my current milk glass collection in my kitchen.

My personal rule of thumb for milk glass is to find something beyond the basic bud vase and I won’t pay over $2 for a piece of milk glass. With that being said, I snatched up this milk glass bucket with sterling silver handle right away because the price was right ($2) and I have never seen a piece like it before.

Favorite Flea Market Finds #2 – Yardsticks

I am so incredibly drawn to the faded, worn colors of vintage yardsticks as well as the graphics and typography used on each piece.

Favorite Flea Market Finds #4 – Picture Frames

Would you believe me if I told you that I have a 4 ft by 4 ft picture frame on my living room wall? Yep, I do and I had the frame in my stash for over a year before I put it up on the wall. At last count I have over 12 different upcycled old picture frames throughout my house.

The frame I have on my front porch was in my collection for over 2 years before I painted it with my homemade aqua chalky paint. Oh and I won’t pay more than $1 for any picture frame.

Favorite Flea Market Finds #5 – Old Books

I think I am drawn to old books because I feel like they are disappearing due to our digital, paperless era. I know people don’t want to hear this but I do believe one day books and libraries will be a thing of the past but for now I enjoy using old books in my décor.

I am floored by the yardstick tray…totally love it. I love everything I think…once I say oh I love dishes, the next thing I realize but I love chairs and yes have a lot. My problem is I am buying retail. I don’t have a thrift nearby and I can spend hours in them. You have inspired me to make a visit on our upcoming vacation! I’m excited now.
